Afraid

Have you ever ran away from most of your problems???

I know I have. I've ran away from life too many times

Running

Sounds like something I’d do

Hiding

Sounds like something I’d do

Escaping

Sounds like something I’d do

Ever stepped into quicksand and didn’t know that it was quicksand

Ever stepped into the flame and didn’t know that it was a flame

I have, I sank like nobody’s business

I have, I disintegrated like nobody’s business

Layman’s terms for I veered off the radar and you never noticed it

Simply it’s because I didn’t tell you

Or I didn’t want you knowing about that kind of information

Perceptions of the world have become livelier

in the hours of dawn, ideal time for me to sun gaze

Obtain some fresh information, universe heals me skillfully

I don’t want you crying, wipe those tears from your face

I don’t want you pouting, pucker your chest and walk firmly

I won’t be gone too long, I promise

I won’t be gone too long, keep the seat warm for me

Don’t let dust collect

Don’t let spiders occupy where I once sat

I say a lot of things that become misconstrued

I say a lot of things most people couldn’t handle

I say a lot of things that make you question reality

I say a lot of things you didn’t know were things

I say a lot of things because I say a lot of things

I know a lot of things

Well no

I only know what I know

Drowning

Sounds like something I’d do

Falling

Sounds like something I’d do

Suicide

Sounds like something I’d do

Tried it twice, wasn’t successful

Tried it twice, still woke up in my bed that same day

Tried it twice, it’ll take a lot of anguish for me to try that again
